Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one OF the most complicated and won

ly put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food sloppy
food, bad cookery. mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits. and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.

WEST vIRGINIAN's CONTEST FOR THE
EDUCATION OF HIS CHILD.

PARKERsBURd. w. VA, November
IAN interesting case, involving
principle of the West Virginia Con-
stitution, has just been tried at the
Circuit, Court of Upshur county.
The plaintiff was DR.. Joseph Waus,
and the defendants the School
Board oft county village. The doc
tor claims to be descendant of the
Chippewa Indians. He married a
white women of Upshur county some
years ago, and he and his family are
highly respected. A year ago he
attempted to send his son to the
white school, ard tina Board of Edu-
cation refused TO admit him, because
they claimed he had colored blood
in his veins. The constitution of
this state does not permit white and
colored children to attend the same
school. Being refused admittance
for his child, the doctor immediate
ly sued out writ OF mandamus to
compel the trustees tn admit him.
Upon the first trial before the JUS
tice he was defeated. and he appeal
cd the case to the Circuit Court of
the county. The trial lasted sever
al days, and in every way the com.
missioner tried to establish the fact
that the child was of African blood.
Failing To do so, verdict was CIV
en- the doctor. He claims that he
has not drop of African blood in
his veins, but that he escaped from
the Chippewas when he was eight
years old, and went 10 Washington
city. From there he came to this
state, where he has since lived.

Writ of Error Denied to the Chicago An

preme Court.

WASHINGTON, Now, 2.-The de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court upon the petition for writ of
error in the case of the Chicago an
archists was announced this after
noon by Chief Justice Waite in a
long and carefully prepared opinion.
which occupied thirty-five minutes in
the reading The courtunanimously
denied the writ of error, The court
holds, first, that the first ten amend
ments to the constitution are limita-
tions upon federal and not upon
State action; second, that the jury
law of Illinois is upon its face valid
and constitutional, and that it is SIM
liar in it's provisions to the statute OF
Utah which was sustained in this
court in the case of Hopt VS.. the
Territory Of Utah; third, that it
does not appear in the record that
upon the evidence the trial court
should have declared the juror San
ford incompetent fourth, that the
admissi On of the Johann Most letter
and the cross-examination OF Spies,
which counsel for the priaoners main
tanned virtually compelled them TO
testify against themselves, were not
objected to in the trial court, and
that, therefore, no Foundation was
laid for the exercise of the courts
jurisdiction and fifth, that the ques-
tons raised by General Butler in the
cases of Spies and Fielden upon the
basis Of their foreign nationality were
neither raised nor decided in the
State courts, and therefore cannot be
considered here.
